Just watched the Let’s talk racing episode with Gavin Lynch and Josh Stacey mentioned at the start that he’s heard 26th September could be the day for Cheltenham to announce the changes to the festival.Comment

Anybody ever bought the Timeform horses to follow? I bought Paul Fergusoms horses to follow yesterday whilst I am waiting on my OJA copy and am thoroughly enjoying ploughing through it. I've just ordered the timeform equivalent for tomorrow so I can have a read over the weekend. I assume it's all pretty much the same stuff covering the same horsesComment

NH chase now a 0-145 novice handicap with pro jockeys allowed.
chasers now need 4 runs and hurdlers 5 for non novice handicaps.
no penalties for winning races before mares novices hurdle.
winners of pertemps qualifiers get first refusal to run in final.
turners and cross country as the already discussed changes.Comment

I'm assuming the NHC is still for novices only. It would be bonkers otherwise.Originally posted by jono View Post

3 less races to bother with antepost, tremendous. From a 4miler to 0-145 filth.Comment

Absolute ridiculous.Originally posted by Atlantic Viking View Post
They're not improvements, IMO.
Making G1's & G2's into handicaps is not the way forward.
Also love the way they are doing everything in their power to stop Willie & Gordon winning handicap hurdles with novices
They'll just start buying 3 or 4 raced novices from France, instead of the once or twice raced.Comment

The BANC will be a 30 runner minefield at this rate.
Will probably be a better spectacle for the ordinary joe but for antepost fans it’s worked out terribly!Comment

That's the intention isn't it. Make every race a better spectacle for the average Joe. I'd say it's every chance of working as well. Arkle and BANC both be more stacked now you'd think. As well as the two novice handicaps stacked with plots...Originally posted by SeanRock View Post
Antepost fans, who are generally the core racing fans, aren't really the consideration.Comment

100%, antepost fans & racing purists in general aren’t at the forefront of the powers that be’s plans in all this, the layout needed a rejig biut not to this extent, ironically most of us are the regulars that pay our way ticket wise year in year out.Originally posted by Benjy23 View PostComment
